	Science Fair Projects - Kaministiquia River
		Kaministiquia is an Ojibwe word meaning "river with islands" due to two large islands (McKellar and Mission) at the mouth of the river.
		The three branches of the river at the delta were extensively dredged and widened by the federal Department of Public Works in the early twentieth century to facilitate navigation.
		After 1883, the lower Kaministiquia river was heavily industrialized by the Canadian Pacific Railway with railway yards, coal yards and docks, grain elevators, shipping docks, and sawmills.

		As the Kaministiquia River meanders from Lake Michigan on its way west to the Pacific Ocean, it passes over a 128 foot drop off onto a slate riverbed cut out over the eons, and exposing a history of the surrounding land for over a billion years.
		For centuries, the Kaministiquia River served as part of a major travel route to the west; it was the first link in a chain of lakes and rivers that led from Lake Superior into the heart of the continent, reaching Rainy River, the Athabasca country and, ultimately, the Pacific Ocean.
		It is believed that his Fort Kaministiquia may have been established as early as 1678 or 1679, but as Dulhut's own journals from these years have been lost, it may never be known for certain.

		On the bark were maps of rivers, lakes, and portages in the region west of the lake, made at his request by several Indian leaders, including a man named Auchagah.

		Images from the Railbed of the P.A.D and W. The photos found on this page and others, were taken on my various "expeditions" along the entire 92 mile route of the railway both in Canada and the US from 1994 to the present.

		These images are a small sample of the hundreds of pictures and slides I have taken of what remains of the railway.
